[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Chungnam Autonomous Police Committee is establishing an emergency medical center for intoxicated individuals as its first project.

On the 21st, Chungnam Province announced that it held the "4th Regular Meeting of the Chungnam Autonomous Police Committee" to review key agenda items, including the establishment of the emergency medical center for intoxicated individuals.

The main agenda items reviewed at the meeting included ▲ the enactment of personnel regulations for police officers in charge of Chungnam autonomous police affairs ▲ review requests for the operation plan and staffing of the emergency medical center for intoxicated individuals ▲ establishment of management measures for habitual traffic congestion zones, among five items in total.

Among these, the establishment of the emergency medical center for intoxicated individuals is the first agenda item proposed and promoted since the Chungnam Autonomous Police Committee was launched last March.

This project aims to alleviate public anxiety about crimes related to intoxicated individuals and to establish a response system through cooperation among related organizations targeting intoxicated persons.

The province plans to sign a business agreement next month with the Chungnam Police Agency and four public medical centers and to pilot operate the emergency medical center for intoxicated individuals at Seosan Medical Center. Additionally, Cheonan Medical Center will operate an emergency medical center for intoxicated individuals once it is released from its designation as a COVID-19 hospital.

The center will be equipped with two beds dedicated to intoxicated individuals, police officer office space, and equipment.

Secretary-General Lee Si-jun said, "The emergency medical center for intoxicated individuals will enable immediate protection and treatment of intoxicated persons, eliminate safety threats and anxiety factors for residents caused by them, and serve as an opportunity to strengthen public security."
